Pretty 58: Souji x Ryona

"Haaaaah~ Oh yes. Damn, do I look even better than I did yesterday? Hmmmm," Souji of Hebijo Academy stands in front of one of plenty of mirrors in the comunal bath facilities of the school for evil ninja girls.

A smug smile and look of satisfaction overall adorn her face as she indulges in her rampant narcissism and self-absortion.

She deserves and has earned the time to indulge in her beauty, after all. She works hard everyday, studies and trains harder and better than all her fellow students, even the group of wonderful weirdos that make up the school's prestigious, illustrious Elite Class.

Well, Ok, perhaps not all her fellow students. There's always her darling best friend/only girl in the academy that can put up and keep up with her, Bashou A.K.A Ba-chan. But the greenette is away on assignment, so there's nobody to hold Souji back, nobody to reign in her rampant love of herself.

"Haaah, oh yeah, work it, girl~ Damn~I'm even more beautiful than I was yesterday, for sure~" She coos to herself.

Eventually, she manages to tear herself away from her own indulgence and reflection in the mirror and she gets started on her usual bath time routine, enjoying the peace and quiet of the baths, being the one and only soul there at this time.

Souji closes her eyes, hearing nothing but the sweet sound of the water dripping here and there and she looks up at the ceiling as she soothes herself in the bath after stepping in. However, this peace and quiet doesn't last long, when she is startled by someone opening the door. There, at the door is a certain short-haired blonde girl with a towel wrapped around her buxom body.

"Hello~?" she says. "Is anybody here?"

"You could knock!" Souij shouts turning her head. "I was relaxing until you barged in here!"

"Ahhhh! I'm so sorry, but the yelling...it's music to my eeeears~!"

Souji tilts her head to the side. "Huh? That behavior of yours...you must be Ryona?"

"Correct~!" The masochist replies. "You must be Souji-chan, right~?"

Souji stands up in the water and strikes a pose, one hand behind her head, the other on her hip, leaning over a bit.

"Hmph! EVERYONE should know me as the most beautiful girl in the world~"

"O-oh, really?" Somehow, to Ryona, that behavior of hers just makes her feel awkward. "Okay, good for you."

"Are you being sarcastic!?" Souji says, being offended by that tone.

"No, I'm not," Ryona frowns. "I'm just not used to behavior such as...yours."

Souji crosses her arms and huffs. "Well...that's...just so uncool."

"Is that all you have to say?"

"I'm just frustrated, that's all!"

Ryona sighs. "Well then...if you wouldn't mind...can i join you?"

Souji is quite aware of her reputation, and clearly, so is Ryona.

The two blondes don't interact all that much. They mostly always stick to their own devices as well as their own favorite people; Souji and Bashou, Ryobi and Ryona. Speaking of...

"...also, why are you just by yourself, Ryona? Where's that sadistic dominatrix you have for a twin?" Souji relaxes and sinks in and settles into her seat in the pleasantly hot water.

Ryona pouts from her spot on the stool she sits on as she does the pre-bath routine.

"Hey! I'm not always glued to Ryobi-chan! We're twins, but we aren't joined at the hip, y'know~?!" The heterochromatic girl retorts.

This gets a legit giggle from Souji.

"Could've fooled me. You two are quite the show together. It's almost...kind~of bizzarre, seeing you two apart for more than five minutes."

"Puuuuu, hmph~! We don't need each other to breathe, Souji-chan! Puuuu~! Besides, hey, why are you all by your lonesome here? That's not fun~!" Ryona replies and turns to look at Souji.

Exotic crimson meets blue and green as the longer-haired blonde shifts and rests her chin on her crossed arms on the edge of the edge.

"Hm, meh, not many people hang around the baths when I'm here. They probably can't handle my sheer magnificence~" And back in full swing was Souji's signature, nigh iconic narcissism.

Ryona sweatdrops.

A lot of girls at Hebijo know to give Souji her space. She is as popular as she is not liked. Her narcissism oftentimes drives other, lesser girls away, be it because of envy, intolerance, feelings of inadequacy or worse still, unrequited crushes and intimidating beauty.

Souji gazes at the loveliness of Ryona as the short-haired blonde sheds her towel and plops down into the hot water right next to her with a little splash.

"Haaaaaah! Mmmm, that hits the spot...getting abused by Ryobi-chan is awesome...but this~is su~per nice too..." Ryona's trademark cat grin is on proud display as the girl relaxes further and sinks lower, the water now obscuring her body from the collarbone.

"...Hmph~ Well, glad my presence and magnificence make you feel good, Ryona," Souji, of course, takes her fellow blonde's words as praise and caress to her ego.

Ryona doesn't deny nor confirm Souji's claim. Instead, she lets her eyes flutter shut and she leans back in her spot...and her shoulder touches Souji's.

"E-eh? Ryona!?" Souij does NOT expect it, but finding the masochist on the long-haired blonde's shoulder? It's relaxing and surprising at the same time.

"Haaaaaah…I just felt like doing this~" Ryona sighs with bliss, inching a bit closer to the narcissist.

"And...why is that?"

"Ryobi-chan and I do this all the time during baths! Cause I love to relax like this~"

Souji's red eyes go back and forth and then look down at the short-haired blonde. She finds that her arm is wrapping around Ryona's waist under the water and scooting just a bit closer. "Hmmm...I guess you're right. This is pretty satisfying."

"I know right~?" Ryona cheers, looking up at Souji.

The two share some lyrical giggles and stay like this for about 10-15 minutes.

The complete silence is there again. Just the two of them relaxing while hearing the sweet sound of dripping water. Both of the Hebijo students find themselves totally relaxed and warm just being at each other's side. However, time may be against them since other girls will come and barge in here, interrupting their relaxation. Souji stands up first.

"Okay, I think that's enough for us," she says. "Let's get out of here."

A disappointed look appears on Ryona's face as she stands up as well. "Awwwwww! Souji-chaaaaan!" She runs over and grabs her wrist. "We can't go yet! Not now!"

"Huh?" Souji tilts her head in confusion. "What is it? There are other girls who want this as well. And I can't be around when they come in."

"That's fine with me!" The short haired blonde says. "Cause I want to stay a little while longer!"

"Why's that?"

"Cause~" Ryona gently pushes her towards the wall. They are still naked and they are just outside the bath. "I want to do something toootally sweet with you~"

"Huh? What do you me-mmmmph!" Before she can say anything else, her lips are connected with Ryona's, making her step back a little more until her back is against the wall, her hands are intertwined with Ryona's.

Souji doesn't really know why she's so easily letting this puppy of a girl get this touchy-feely with her. She's not that easy...but Ryona is really cute...and her lips are so sweet and plush and soft...plus there's the fact that she and Ryona are both completely naked. The only companion to their bodies being the still-warm water dripping down their gloriously ample curves.

This just feels...so very good.

Souji opens up first. She just slightly parts her lips and Ryona's tongue soon pokes out to take that invitation and embrace it.

Soon, the two kissing blonde Senrans find themselves on the warm, smooth, wet tile floor of the bath; Souji resting on her gorgeous bum and Ryona straddling her lap as the two continue to smooch.

Eventually, though, the two finally let up and pull away to get a good breath back in, eyes connected,, the two girls breathing the same air with a soft moan here and there.

"Hah...hah...heh...that was so~nice...~" Ryona pants and she soon plops down against Souji's side once more, cheek nuzzling against hers, and the longer-haired blonde's arm wrapped nice and secure around her shoulder.

"...you...should be honored...you just kissed the most gorgeous woman in Hebijo." Souji can't help but smile her signature, smug grin.

"Mmm...mmhmm...yes, I'm so~honored...just be sure...teehee...to take responsibility if I become too~addicted to your lips, Ok?" Ryona coos.

"...I will, I will. We'll see...~" Souji gently strokes Ryona's silky, wet blonde locks.

They brush their lips together briefly before they sit up and lean against the wall again. Ryona takes this opportunity to lean against Souji again, resting her head on her shoulder. At this point, neither of them care whether or not the girls come in. If they see Souji, they'll know they can leave them be until she's gone.

"Hey...Souji-chan~?" Ryona says, breaking the silence after a few more minutes.

"Yes, Ryona?"

"I kinda love...being with you," the masochist admits. "Being with you just...shines my world...a whole new world in fact. Meeting you and spending time with you did just that~"

Souji flips her hair with a smile while closing her eyes. "Hmph! I think my magnificent beauty did just that. After all, I AM very attractive~"

'There she goes again...' Ryona thinks as she sweat drops.

"But seriously, though," Souji turns back towards the masochistic blonde. "It's wonderful, spending time with you, Ryona. I feel like I've entered a whole new world, myself. Getting to know each other, spending time together. It felt nice."

"Really~?" Ryona brightens.

"Absolutely~"

"Ohhhh, Souji-chan, that's so wonderful~!" Ryona can't help but glomp the long haired blonde. "You're SOOOO sweet, Souji-chan~!"

"Ahaha! Okay, okay, okay~" Souji gently pushes her away.

"Haaaah, sorry~" Ryona says. "And you know what? I'll admit...you DO look pretty attractive...up close~"

Souji rolls her eyes and idly, leisurely pets Ryona on the head.

"Thank you, but~I know I'm gorgeous the closer you get~ But I like to hear you say that. Makes me feel good," The crimson-eyed Senran coos and she delights in the sheer happiness oozing from Ryona and radiating from her cat-like smile despite Souji almost seeing a puppy tail start to wag behind Ryona. It's quite the contrast.

"Now...chu~" She kisses Ryona's forehead. "Come on. We've been here long enough. Our fellow students should have the chance to try and make themselves look as gorgeous as I, and a bath is very important for that." She lectures her new puppy-love.

So, sharing one last, lingering kiss, Ryona and Souji help each other towel off and some nice, playful groping ensues when they help each other put their clothes back on.

Then, the two decide to go their separate ways, not without one last promise.

"So, don't forget, Ryona. Do not~let any~one else's beauty make your heart waver, you understand? My beauty is the only beauty for you. Is that clear~?"

Souji's finger is on Ryona's mouth as a sign to keeping it to herself. Ryona nods her head and kisses her back hand.

"I promise, Souji-chan~" the masochist says.

And then, the two go their separate ways, waving each other good-bye, but not before doing one last thing: exchanging phone numbers.

Later, at their own dorm room

"Hmmm? What's making you so happy, Sou-chan?" Bashou asks as she sees her best friend looking at her phone.

"Oh, just...made a new friend, that's all," Souji replies.

"New friend?" Bashou tilts her head in adorable confusion.

"Nothing to be concerned about," the long haired blonde sets her phone aside and walks over to her best friend and hugs her from behind. "Why don't you drop your brush and sleep with me, okay~?"

"Mmmmm~" Bashou nuzzles against her arm and pulls away. "I'll be there in a bit, okay?"

"Fine," Souji goes back to her phone as she plops herself on the bed.

Ryona's dorm room

"Hey, Baka Inu!" Ryobi shouts as she comes in the room.

"Oh, Ryobi-chan, you're here~! Listen! Listen, I just made a new friend today!"

"Huh? New friend?"

"Yep! She's pretty and kind of a narcissist~" Ryona describes. "But overall, she's sweet on the inside~"

"Oh...well...good for you," Ryobi says, putting her hands on her hips.

"Ehehe~!"
